Not sure who the Funk Brother or The Briscoes are but I am sure I could not care less about them. Just wondering about what motivates someone to enjoy anger and conflict. Sad really.

That quote is ridiculous. Records in no way tell the whole story and certainly are not the end of the story. You might want to review what Tara V. said about this team. She probably knows a little bit more about basketball than you, me or anyone else on this forum.

Started to like your post and then I checked your stats. 1 to 1 turnover to assist ratio isn't very good dude. Your going to have to clean that up for real street cred.

So, I decided to hold my likes for poster with 4 or more likes per post. Credibility is the name of this game. And your stats indicate you are a below average poster. In other words your turnovers far out weigh your assists

I know Funkadelic and also Briscoe Darling, head of the Darling clan and portrayed on the Andy Griffith Show by Denver Pyle, also known as Uncle Jesse from Hazzard County. Maybe they could have a funk/bluegrass fusion similar to Gangstagrass, one of whose songs was used as the theme song for the Justified tv series based upon the charactesr Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder created by the great crime/western novelist Elmore Leonard.

(Felt like all of that inane trivia had to be worth at least as much as a lot of the nonsense floating around here).

I chuckle at those who think we're just going to roll through the SEC. I know nothing about the league this year--who might be good, who not--but
can almost guarantee that there will be at least four teams that will be pretty good or better, and we've not beaten a good team all year. We /have/
to play well and have a strong league season or we could struggle to even make the NCAA.

And you get 7-6 which is where we are. Numbers don't lie and to quote Bill Parcells — 'you are what your record says you are'

13 games into a season, practices, off season one on ones etc. Not sure how time you need. It's not trashing, it is just not letting excuses slide in year 4.

So if you lose your first game of the season to anyone, you're a terrible team. Who knew how simple it could be?

If you win your first three games, pencil you in for the championship, because you're a perfect team. Your record says so.

A lot of sports analysists are going to be out of a job tomorrow when this nugget gets out.

My statement is of course based on what we have seen at this point, but of course the final record will tell the true story of my quote (I could be right or wrong). You tried to simplify the quote to fit your example.

Maybe it's because it's what the quote doesn't say. A record can help show where a team is at any given point. It doesn't show the character of the team, extenuating circumstances such as injuries or other factors, and whether a team is improving or regressing.

And raw numbers don't tell the whole story, either. Level of competition tells much more than simple win-loss totals.

Maybe the quote would sound more relevant if the term "record" were examined more thoroughly. If the person means effort, improvement of weak areas, responding to adversity, margin of victory, and a whole host of other objective metrics and subjective observations, then I'd agree that your "record" can tell you where your team is at the moment. But that's apparently not what people quoting the saying mean. They seem to think that win-loss totals looked at in isolation define a team and tell them who they are. And that's just plain silly.

"Toughen up, Buttercup."

Lucy is handling an up and down season with patience, grace and aplomb. Some others are getting hysterical, and some seem to have OCD when it comes to their posts.

By the way, Buttercups are a large genus of flowering plants called Ranunculus. It has yellow, shiny petals, and grows wild in many places. It is poisonous to eat for humans and cattle. SO, you best be careful when you mess with buttercupts; they are tougher than you.

As far as the record goes we have not helped ourselves get an NCAA bid. Playing a tough schedule used to mean something now it means almost 0. Sure you get some consideration for your SOS, but to say were in a must win spot is certainly 100 percent true. We can't go 9 and 7 in the SEC and get in the NCAA Tourney it is going to take about 11 or 12 Conference wins. On the other hand LSU has set themselves up to where something like 9 and 7 and surely 10 and 6 and they are still in. This even though their best win is against number 64 Oregon State. Mulkey evidently knew more about scheduling than we did as she has a Q1 win coming against number 66 Tulane because she played that game on the road. Winning against a team ranked 1 to 75 on the road is a Q1 win. The sad part of this is that beating number one on the road is also the same Q1 win. We don't have any Q1 wins at this time. We have won against number 39 Colorado, but that ranks as a Q2 because at home only teams ranked 1 thru 30 count as Q1 wins.
LSU is considered the number 10 team in the nation in the polls. They are ranked as the number 2 team in the NET. They are ranked as a two seed by Creme and he says they are under consideration for a one. This all on winning eight games against teams ranked over 300 two ranked in the 60's and one at around 200. We could be in the same situation as they are if we had scheduled like they did. So the question is why didn't we know more about how the NET rankings work and schedule accordingly. We should really consider it in the coming seasons. Believe me where you are ranked in the NET is highly important and scheduling the right way can get you a high ranking in it without really playing anybody that is very good.

You are being way to analytical, you want to explain heart and soul (And that’s fine) but has nothing to do with my quote. Lady Vols have lost to every team that has been ranked (when we played them), and have beaten every unranked team (at the time they played them). So they are exactly what the record says, “middle of the road”. Maybe they improve, maybe they don’t, who knows. The record will tell eventually.
